Tattoo trials, a confession, and a squid

A friend of mine is newly anointed into the infamous roller derby sanction, which takes this mild-mannered accountant from conservative to I-want-a-tattoo real fast. This is just a little fooling around, but a couple of quick ideas we discussed...

The wheel. More to her liking, as she hasn't quite committed to the whole idea in the first place and, should she actually go through with it, she wants something small. Pft.

Wiener.

My original idea was a really beat up and tired skate. Instead of flames, I wanted smoke.

I never went through with the sketch because this one was too busy and big for said accountant/newly discovered bad ass.

A fun derailment from the jewelry, but tattooing is waaaay to controlled for my taste. This is why I shudder when someone asks me to do commission work. I have to limit myself to the customer's expectations.

No fun at all.

I prefer to whim on my own and dive into what I want and then wait for the mental unicorn to come along

This is how I am scattered all over the internet.

About Me

I am a medical language specialist by day, moody, tortured artist by night. To be honest, I would rather play with welders and chop saws any day, but I never could believably pull of the starving artist look. I work from home, play from home, homeschool 3 kids and I will give you a whole dollar if you let me out of this house for 5 damn minutes. I haven't used the bathroom alone for 15 years--ever since my oldest learned to crawl. I love coffee. I love it with a desperation that will render me insane should I continue on about it. I hate shoes, clothes, and mashed potatoes. Evidently I am the only woman in the world that can claim all 3. I love to laugh and am never disappointed by my children when I need one the most. I believe in miracles, God, true love, happiness, freedom. I love the feeling of grass on my bare feet, the smell of fireworks, thunderstorms, playing in the rain, sunflowers, making things, smiling, being loved, truth, and hugs.
